Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She great
Cathy is such a great therapist! I love her and her way of doing things. Very grateful for her help and understanding, encouragement me to try new ways of thinking.
Catherine is always hearing what I have to say. She is supportive and asks questions when she doesn’t understand what I’m trying to say. She allows me time to process my reviews that I have and gives me worksheets that really do help with what I currently going through.
Cathy has been incredible. I would absolutely recommend her.

Cathy is a wonderful therapist. She really LISTENS and understands. I would highly recommend Cathy. I have talked to MANY therapists in the past and she is by far the BEST!
Catherine has been a great help to me throughout my therapy journey. I feel like she listens supportively and knows how to respond in positive manners. I'm very thankful to have her to talk to and would highly recommend her for anyone who struggles with anxiety, depression, or is going through rough times.

Cathy has been life changing, she is so good at what she does and truly has a gift! I highly recommend her to anyone I know.
I have only met with Catherine Valentine once. I certainly did not expect to feel a connection to her during my first session. But I did. She understood my grief & helped me see a different way to look at a traumatic experience in a different light. I am grateful for that. I am looking forward to my next session with her.
Cathy has been a tremendous therapist for me these past few months. She is easy to talk to and is an active listener. She challenges my thoughts and ideas in a positive way and I always feel that she has my best interest at heart. She has a flexible schedule and responds quickly to messages. I’m very grateful for my therapy experience with Cathy.
She great! I always feel better after our sessions
